thanx match2010,
My study sources where as follows:
-I did 2 reading of kaplan LN expt. for micro/immuno, behaviorals and anatomy neuro which I read once
-I also read Goljan rapid review 2x, didn't have time for the videos.
- I did first aid thoroughly once ( I am a slow reader)
-I did UW and finished it with an cummul.average of 55%, then I did the wrong once again
-I also did Kaplan Q bank with cummul.60%, 45% fiinished
-NBME5 470/211 2 weeks before exam
-NBME6 470/211 2days before exam
I was really stressed out throughout my prep due to family problems. I am gald this is over.
GL everyone

thanx drusha,usmlekiller and gray10.
Drusha, keep studying and do as many questions as you can and first aid, my mistake was not reading first aid enough times. usmlekiller, yeah doing UW again has helped me alot, I only had enough time to do my wrong ones but that was really helpful. at end just do first aid and UW again. gray10, yeah NBME5, and 6 where good predictors of my actual score. I found the actual exam harder then UW and the NBMEs.
GL all

thanx sarawathi and AD,
Sarawathi, for molecular biology kaplan is sufficient, thats all I did and it was one of my strongest subjects. Try to get a good grasp of the basics, cuz for molecular biology no memorization is needed, if you learn the basic then interepeting the experimental qs will be easy. I hope that answered your question
